3. A strong regulatory program is essential for the
success of a pollution program. It raises the costs of
managing residuals and provides incentives for waste
generators to attempt to minimize costs. An effective and
fairly administered regulatory program wherein the
regulators work, with industry on a cooperative rather than
adversary basis to maximize voluntary compliance and
beyond-minimum efforts can also generate a data base through
which we can analyze where common problems exist and what
kinds of technical assistance are most needed by the
regulated community.
4. Research, education and technical assistance are
also essential to successful pollution prevention, as
mechanisms for identifying and developing technical
solutions to pollution problems, for increasing awareness of
both problems and solutions on the part of generators and
for transferring knowledge of solutions from those who have
it to those who do not, particularly smaller industries
without resources to generate solutions without assistance.
5. Any analysis of waste streams that emphasizes or
incorporates pollution prevention technologies must be based
on reliable information concerning volumes and types of
wastes, chemical composition, production processes,
management practices, environmental and health effects of
the substances and economic political and institutional
